Welcome to the Vast Empire Naval Training squadron. This thread is for the recruits who have passed chapter's I and II and are on their way to completing flight school.

Here you will discuss posts with your squadron mates and 'shoot the bull' in your off time. Remember, socialization is key to be a successful writer and be successful in the VE in general. Don't be afraid to talk to people.

*Note: A minimum of two (2) story posts are required to graduate from the training squadron and into one of the active squadrons.

Again, I want to commend you on your first post. It takes a lot of work and nerve to submit it. I feel that it was a very good post for not having someone to help guide you through it the first time. Keep it up! The more you write, the more natural it will be to you. Everyone has their own writing style, and by observing other's, we can learn little tips that aid our faults (I have plenty of them).

Writing continuation posts are mostly all we do in story posts. We continue from a previous post, whether it was yours or someone else's. and we move the plot along just a little bit, until we reach critical points in the story, plot twists, or end of mission. in those cases usually the SC or the XO will make the moves. It was a good post for your very first one.

Welcome, guys. I don't think I've introduced myself to you two yet, so: I'm Drac, an Operator at the Academy and the XO of Nazgul. You both know Hunter, who is our SC. And in case you don't know the others, Ibram is SC of Viper with bjorkfrid as his XO.

Go ahead and read up on the Raptor story and post. Cipher, you may want to get with StOrMz beforehand and get situated there if you guys haven't discussed it already.

Good luck and have fun,
-Drac

Great work so far guys! Character Development (C/D) posts are some of the hardest to get the hang of, yet you both have done just fine.

Now for assignments:

IG and Searchboy: I will be posting a continuation to the story in the morning. After that, you can continue the story as you see fit.

Remember: You are both fleet members, neither of you can give orders, you can only obey.

Cipher: If you have time, you can post a character development post. If not, then don't worry about it and just start with us in the simulators.
